Leading IT firm marks recent
success with new website
IT and tech sector leader, razorblue, is enjoying a technical makeover of its own
with a new website launched on the back of continued expansion and success.
I
T managed services company razorblue is
building on the excitement of its expansion
into Manchester earlier in 2019 with a new
website that has launched this month.
razorblue’s CEO, Dan Kitchen, has worked
with Aycliffe Business Park based digital
marketing agency, Thrive, for two years,
having first approached them for a brand
refresh and further design support in 2017.
The firm specialises in managed IT and
security services, super-fast connectivity,
cloud and hosting and business software
solutions across a broad range of industries,
working with major retailers, manufacturers,
hotels and professional services businesses.
The relationship between the two
organisations has continued to grow, as
has razorblue’s dominance in the market,
the company now has sites in Leeds,
Manchester, Wynyard and London, as well as
its original Catterick base.
Dan said: “2019 has been another
phenomenal year of growth for razorblue and
we made the decision to mark this period of
success with a new website that will support
our future growth plans.
“The new website designed and built by
the supportive and knowledgeable team
at Thrive enables us to do just that and
integrates some of our own innovative
features and tools, such as our real-time KPI
reporting.”
razorblue is thrilled with its new-look
website which now integrates some of its
team’s in-house tools and apps, meaning the
website is a very bespoke build, completely
unique to razorblue and its capabilities.
Reza Snowdon, senior developer at Thrive,
said: “It’s been truly refreshing to work
with such a forward-thinking company that
specialises in the IT and tech sector, and who
could really work collaboratively with us to
produce a website that sets razorblue apart
from the competition and has resulted in a
finished product that both companies are
incredibly proud to have been involved in.”
Both companies are delighted with the
results of the completed product, which
puts the user experience at the heart of
the website’s very being, with ease-of-use
crucial to its design. In fact, razorblue’s
desire was to have a website that marked
its latest progression, as well as one that
was much more functional, responsive and
manageable for its team and customers
alike.
Thrive senior designer Tom Mather added:
“We totally immersed ourselves not only
in razorblue’s business model, but also its
core values and ethos, to reflect razorblue’s
‘unique approach to IT solutions’, and it’s
worth giving a shoutout to Dan and his team
for their enthusiasm and support throughout
this project.
“At Thrive we understand how invaluable
a strong relationship can be to a project,
particularly one that is creative and unique
like this one.”
